* Once you call a caution, everyone will slow down to 30mph. Do not come to a complete STOP
* Racers go back inline. Restarts are single file.
* Room Host will call out a countdown, 3*2*1 GO, once all racers are grouped up (within a car length of each other) and up to caution speed (30mph).
* No passing on restarts until the end of following corner after the re-start of the caution or when the series coordinator calls “YOU CAN PASS”
* No cautions on the last 3 laps.

Just ran a 1:24.313, and so far the car is actually pretty ok. It doesn't like climbing hills tho, so that's probably where the most passes are going to be made on Camino.

Can't wait for the race. Looks like these guys will take a pounding better than the trucks devil

I ran it in a group and it was good for the Armature racer (like me)...

it was, the car held up pretty well... wink

 

I have to watch the replays but it looked like the two small circuits, Iberian and Ladera there might be no need for a handicap but the other two we need to put a handicap on the faster guys as they were almost 2 sec faster

No worries Justin.  I've got you on my f/r.  El Kochino usually gets going @ 7:00pm our time.  We run some practice laps to figure out handicaps.  Then start race @7:30.  Just how up and bring your Beetle  : )
